80's ford dually

[MsDano85gt]

had other images they were too large

this bed I"reconstructed" from scrap materials and spare truck bed parts to make a 2nd complete dually bed which will be going with the original f 350 cab newer style ford......

This will be cool. Can't wait to see more.

[Platerpants]

need more!

[MsDano85gt]

tried uploading more but was limited/restricted?? the size for the files of pics that I can upload keeps shrinking the more I post....... I will wait a few days and see if it goes back up I guess this is a bummer cause I have a 75 dodge truck I extended the cab and am replicating a friends 1:1

[MsDano85gt]

[nhra1625]

I have the wheels and tires from the Revell 379 Peterbilt kit. I was gonna put them on my dually but I don't have low profile tires lol. If you want them just let me know and we can talk about it

I used monogram 1/32 kenworth wheels on my 1/25 speccast f350 that i converted to a F550 dually. Not the best picture of the wheels or the truck though.

It started out lookin like this i broke the original wheels when i took them off though for the conversion and the f250 in the back

is done up in a shelby theme

[redneckrodder]

A camper behind it would be cool

[MsDano85gt]

[Evilbenny]

Looking good Danny, Keep up the good work on this one. I may have to build one of these myself.

[MsDano85gt]

by mis matched bed you mean newer ford f 350 dually bed with a older ford single cab?

or are you referring to the 2nd bed that i "scratchbuilt" with just bed sides and leftover materials? pill bottle wheel wells...... wth mis matched blue/ red was intentional i tiik apart a glue bomb someone had gotten glue fingerprints all over the side of one bedrail, so i had spare regular non dually bed panels laying around i cut and spliced back together....... using all my parts/ materials here i try not to waste good styrene!

[MsDano85gt]

ford along with the chevy dually i'm working up as well!

[MsDano85gt]

Pretty cool project! Is the mis-matched bed intentional?

i had a glue bomb bed, so the sides were scarred up bad (melted in a couple spots) so i got my junklot p/u stuff out had some non dually bed sides (lt blue) plastic i cut and spliced the parts together to make decent bed without the melted glue spots.......
